persistent challenges before enabling a breakthrough, and discuss how to steer the path forward.</p> <p>Philippe Merlo took up his duties as director of air traffic management at EUROCONTROL in 2014. He is responsible for the Air Traffic Management Directorate which has three main pillars. The first, ATM strategies, is tasked with the strategic development of ATM, with particular focus on ensuring coordination at a global level with the key actors. The second, R&D and SESAR contribution management, plays a core role in SESAR 2020, where EUROCONTROL leads eight projects and contributes to many more with the aim of achieving the objectives of the Single European Sky and the performance scheme, as well an ensuring full alignment of SESAR initiatives in accordance with the ATM master plan. The third, civil-military ATM coordination, ensures appropriate civil-military and military-military ATM coordination via EUROCONTROL’s unique civil-military competencies.</p> <p>Philippe has spent his entire career in ATM, beginning as a flight test engineer in 1986 in the French DGAC (Directorate General for Civil Aviation) after graduating from the Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile in Toulouse. He rose within the organisation to occupy a number of managerial functions of increasing responsibility, including four years as head of the en-route ATC center in Bordeaux and four years as director of all technical systems and innovation. In 2010, he became deputy CEO of DSNA, the French Air Navigation Service Provider, in which capacity he was increasingly involved in ATM at a European level, before joining EUROCONTROL four years later.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tuesday, April 10, Exhibitor Reception Keynote Speaker</h3> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Roger Connor, </strong><strong>Curator, Vertical Flight, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Instruments & Avionics, </strong><strong>National Air and Space Museum<a id="con"></a></strong></h4> <div class="wp-block-image size-portrait-thumb wp-image-9429"> <figure class="alignright"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="180" height="240" data-attachment-id="9429" data-permalink="https://i-cns.org/icns-2018/2018-agenda/bios/attachment/roger-connor-nasm-aeronautics-department/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/i-cns.org/wp-content/uploads/Roger-Connor.jpg?fit=3998%2C5532&ssl=1" data-orig-size="3998,5532" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"8","credit":"Photo by Mark Avino, Smithsonian","camera":"NIKON D800","caption":"Roger Connor, Museum Specialist, Aeronautics Department, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C.
